The charity gathering was held in the largest hall of the Flâneur Hotel. Due to the heavily overcast sky, all the lights had been turned on. Inside the grand hall, an opulent chandelier hung magnificently, casting a bright golden glow over everything. By the time Wei An entered, the auction had already begun. On the stage was a mutilated corpse from the ancient civilization, displayed in a glass case. Several beams of bright light illuminated it, creating a lavish and extravagant…- 513.7 K • Completed
“Did you say you are from the Pung-u Merchant Guild?” “I did.” “Please, this way. Right this way!” Yoo-ha followed the owner into the inner office. Hwi moved to follow, but Yoo-ha raised a hand to stop him, leaving him alone with the clerk. Left to his own devices, Hwi turned to the man. “What is this 'Pung-u Merchant Guild'?” “You’ve never heard of them?” the clerk asked, incredulous. “I am asking because I do not know.” “Are you not…- 19.8 K • Ongoing
- The day of the Prayer Assembly arrived quickly. That day, the sky was heavily overcast, with dark clouds looming like an invading army at the horizon, casting an uneasy mood. Major cities in the Federation were equipped with weather control systems, but this technology was particularly advanced—not based on traditional central air conditioning theories but derived from the mysterious chaotic systems of the ancient civilization. As early as the era of slavery, people could control urban weather…

After resolving the matters in the front, Wei Zhao went to the rear hall to check on Mu Jue. Through the bed curtains, he could vaguely see the young and handsome face, eyes tightly closed, a faint dark green hue covering his usually pale complexion. "Has the poison been identified?" Wei Zhao asked. The Chief Imperial Physician held a cotton swab under his nose, carefully discerning the scent. Hearing the question, he said with a worried expression, "That's precisely what I wanted to discuss…- 41.2 K • Ongoing
Qin Zhan had been absent from school for several days, working various odd jobs to scrape together money for his loan repayment. He excelled academically, learning quickly and effortlessly. His low profile at school meant some teachers didn't even notice whether he attended class or not, and those who did often turned a blind eye. When he finally returned to school, he kept hearing whispers about Bai Ling and Zhou Liao getting together. Most of the gossip was critical, with people complaining they'd…- 43.1 K • Ongoing
- “That man only did it because he was ordered to. If I stir up trouble for no reason, the only people who will suffer are those around me.” “What do you mean?” “I mean that I cannot be by Yong-rae’s, Nanny’s, or your side every hour of the day.” Hwi’s eyes narrowed. Did that mean the bastards of the main house harassed the annex servants the moment Yoo-ha’s back was turned? “Shall I order one more?” Hwi watched Yoo-ha in silence. The man sat…

- With the passing of the last wave of late spring cold, the imperial capital truly warmed. Early in the morning, Gao Jili led the servants of the Crown Prince's residence in preparing the day's attire for His Highness. "This one is too dull in color, this one's fabric isn't quite comfortable. Let's go with the moon-white one; the style is flattering, and it accentuates the waist. Take it and have it pressed properly. There must not be a single wrinkle." He was a veteran of the Crown Prince's…

- "Zhou Liao, you little bastard, you dumped that ballerina goddess you just snagged?" The boy called Zhou Liao had his leg propped on the windowsill, a cigarette dangling from his lips. When he turned, a sneer curled his lips. "I dumped her a week ago. You're just finding out now?" The group around him erupted in laughter. The other guy lit his own cigarette, eyeing Zhou Liao's undeniably handsome and arrogant exterior with a hint of envy. "How long did you even play around with her?" "No idea,"…

And so, the boy could not give the man the answer he wanted. Because it was the first and last promise he had made with his father, and it was a sort of last will. Besides, even though he was still dull and not fully grown, he could predict this much. The terrifying repercussions it would bring upon aristocratic society if the boy were to tell him ‘the location of the key.’ When the boy shook his head despite the numerous beatings, the man was thoroughly infuriated. Lifting the boy, who was…- 102.4 K • Completed
- Yan closed his eyes and spread his arms wide, as if the thin, metallic sound were a hymn. In the empty classroom, there were only him and Dennis. And this was the most plausible peace that Yan pursued. “I’ll give you a chance.” “…” “Serve me.” Dennis recalled the day he licked Quachi’s instep. He had stomped on the young Dennis’s head until he finally burst something on his forehead. With his blood-soaked face, Dennis had licked Quachi’s shoe. The hard, disgusting sole…
